On the splendid holiday April Fools’ Day, Taylor Swift graced the Internet with a comically tragic video of her falling off of a treadmill. Unfortunately, this was not a joke.

He promised “concrete steps towards a world without nuclear weapons.” In accordance with the importance he placed on this goal, he hosted the first-ever biennial Nuclear Security Summit the following year in Washington D.C. Last week, he attended his fourth and […]
